5.3 IP
Configuration
IP configuration is one of the most important configurations in the switch. Without the proper
setting, the network manager will not be able to manage or view the device. The switch supports
both manual IP address setting and automatic IP address setting via DHCP server. When IP
address is changed, you must reboot the switch so the setting takes effect and uses the new IP
for management access.

The switch supports DHCP client used to get an IP address automatically if you set this function
“Enable”. When enabled, the switch will issue the request to the DHCP server to get an IP
address. If the DHCP server is down or does not exist, the switch will issue the request and
notify you that the IP address is being requested until the DHCP server is up. Before getting an
IP address from DHCP server, the device will stop the booting process. If the field is set to
“Disable”, you will have to input the IP address manually. For more details about IP address and
DHCP, refer to
